Rubithon 35 moved to Sept 6-10 (1 Viewer)

[Rubithon]

Hi everyone. As you know, epic winter snowfall, including 10" the first week of May, is forcing us to reschedule Rubithon. The biggest reason is the eastern entrance/exit through Tahoma. This is critical to a smooth exit from camp, as well as getting all of our event materials into camp.
I am also concerned about potential damage or blockage to the trail that is concealed by 6-10 feet of snow right now. We are also want to embrace Tread Lightly and not run 150+ trucks through a water logged trail.
Our new dates will be Wed Sept 6 - Sun Sept 10th. I'm hoping that people will have enough time to reschedule vacations. I also know that this will cause problems for our families with children that don't want to miss school.
For anyone that is registered and can't make the new dates, you can either roll it over to next year, or we will provide a full refund using your method of payment. There will be an email sent out to all registered participants with the details.
Thank you. Hope to see you Sept 6-10

Good decision! June would be a sh*tshow.

Definitely a hard decision to have to make. See you in September!

Thanks for the support. It's a tough call, but I know it will help not having to go back out through Loon.

Assuming you get much past walker if that ? Curious what reports are in 2 weeks, doesnt effect decision, just curious how much is packed/drifted on trail in the forested areas which there could be quite the piles still. Hoped it would melt, it did/has not.

Will there be a new cut off date to register?
On the fence if I can make it. Thanks

There will have to be so they can account for Meals . When that is I have no idea. Best bet is to just register.

Here is a report from the county, Ellis Creek bridge, not far from Loon lake.

The reports for Memorial weekend:
Tahoma side stopped at Miller Lake (Tahoe High-Lo's). Lot's of holes under snow that people sunk into. Broken Bronco on the trail
Loon side. Numerous reports of making it to Soup Bowl. Soup Bowl covered in ice and snow.
To no surprise, trail has a lot of water.
